[Verse 1]
Am F Am Dm
A lightning bolt shatters the door and I am caught off guard
C Em Am
Pinned to the wall as my eyes swim in stars
F G Am
You reach in and swallow my heart
[Chorus]
F E
How far will it go
Am C F
The ocean continues to rise;
C G D F
But I am swimming like a shark
Am E Am
In the waters of your eyes
[Verse 2]
Am F Am Dm
Take me dancing— dance with me on the moon;
C Em Am
Revolve with the worlds while below us unfurls
F G Am
The earth howling its doom
[Verse 3]
Am F Am Dm
The flowers that bloom erupt in the gloom to garland our pathway with life
C Em Am
Pluck a corsage for an adorned homage
F G Am
As we dance in the deepening night
[Chorus]
F E
How far will it go
Am C F
The ocean continues to rise;
C G D F
But I am swimming like a shark
Am E Am
In the waters of your eyes
[Verse 4]
Am F Am Dm
The song that we play's interrupted to say that today is the day of our dread
C Em Am
The Capitol lawn is now o'ergrown with thorns
F G Am
That have consumed the unwilling land.
[Verse 5]
Am F Am Dm
Soft we lay on inauguration day as our hearts become brittle as stone
C Em Am
And yet even if the world implodes
F G Am
My hand is yours to hold.
C Em Am F G Am
Yes even if the world implodes my hand is yours to hold.
[Chorus]
F E
How far will it go
Am C F
The ocean continues to rise;
C G D F
But I am swimming like a shark
Am E Am
In the waters of your eyes
[Outro]
C G D F
Yes I keep swimming like a shark;
Am E Am
I'm at home in the blue of your eyes.
